Your proposal, with corrections as noted, meets the minimum required codes, policies
and standards for development as aclopted by the Bakersfield City Council, Specific items,
have been identified (see attached Site Plan Compliance List) that you need to resolve before
you can obtain a building permit or be allowed occupancy. These items may include changes
or additions that need to be shown on the final building plans, alert you to speciflc fees, and/or
are comments that will help you in complying with the city's development standards. Each
item will note when it is to be completed and they have been grouped by department so that
you know who to contact if you have questions.
Your next step is to either apply for necessary building permits to construct your project,
or begin your business activities depending on the request submitted, You must submit final
buJiding plans to the Building Division, The Site Plan Review Committee will review these final
plans while building plan check occurs to ensure that you satisfy the items in the Site Plan
Compliance List. Please read them carefully. Failure to satisfy an item may delay your
obtaining a building permit or commencing youir project,
After construction of your project but before the City can allow occupancy, the Building
Division must inspect the development to find if it complies with the approved plans, and any
other relevant permits and codes. If you have satisfied all of the requirements, the Building
Director will issue a certificate of occupancy: of not, the area inspector will give you a
correction notice. Once you have made all of the corrections, the Building Director can issue a
certificate of occupancy. You may not occupy a development until the Building Director has
issued a certificate of occupancy.
